CILYC

CENTRAL PH · SEASONAL Homeport

Cebu &
the Visayas

Where every CILYC voyage begins — sheltered straits, open channels, and a trimaran that never has to choose a lane.

| ARRIVAL

The engines are the last thing you hear before they go quiet.

Then it's just the trimaran's hulls finding their rhythm against the Visayan Sea, Mactan's reef line falling away behind you, and a stretch of water that seems to loosen every clenched muscle in your shoulders by the second nautical mile.

​

Cebu doesn't announce itself. It opens gradually — channel by channel, island by island — the way a good evening does.

| Why We Sail Here

Most operators pick one kind of water. We picked the one that refuses to.

Cebu is the only province in the Visayas where sheltered straits, open-sea passages, and reef-fringed islands sit within a single day's reach of each other — which means a charter here can shift character without ever changing vessel. Calm one morning, open and alive by afternoon.

One Vessel

Coves most charter guests never learn the names of — because we don't publish them.

Discoveries, not a checklist.

A tight edit of what makes Cebu worth sailing before anywhere else.

| CILYC Experiences Here

Three ways to sail this coastline.

Each experience routes through El Nido and Coron differently — choose by pace, not just by itinerary.
